In-App Subscriptions Made Easy

There are various types of subscriptions: recurring, non-recurring, free-trial periods, various billing cycles and any possible billing variation one can imagine. But with lack of information online, you might discover that mobile subscriptions behave differently from what you expected. This article will make your life somewhat easier when addressing an in-app subscriptions implementation.

"Ruby is about to gain thousands of gems", Charles Nutter twittered a few days ago. What has happened? Last year, Charles started the maven_gem project, "a RubyGems plugin (and a utility) to install Maven artifacts as RubyGems", and he now apparently succeeded in making maven artifacts installable as RubyGems, as this shell session shows. This really would make a slew of libraries available to be used in JRuby projects.

A related new project is JavaGems. It's goal is to be a simpler alternative to Maven for JVM languages, not a replacement, as noted in their FAQ:

Maven is fine. It's an incredibly powerful tool with a lot more features than JavaGems will probably ever have. If Maven is working for you, keep using Maven. The problem is, some of us have smaller needs and don't need all the power of Maven, but rather, need something more simple. JavaGems aims to fill that gap. It's not trying to replace Maven, but rather, complement it.

Tell us what you think

Just wanted to point that a ruby/maven brigde already exist with project: buildr.apache.org

From the official documentation: buildr.apache.org/artifacts.html"We designed Buildr to work as a drop-in replacement for Maven 2.0, and share artifacts through the same local and remote repositories."
